Up a Hill & Down a Valley: Underperforming bicycle industry – a demise or a chance to create value?

25 Apr 2023

The bicycle industry is facing major challenges as pandemic-related high inventory levels and the post-pandemic decline in bicycle sales have led to an unbalanced and unprecedented situation.

The situation is further complicated by the increased cost of capital, which is putting additional pressure on bicycle companies that rely on capital to sustain their exponential growth. In this context, it is critical for bicycle companies to quickly identify and implement initiatives to improve strategy, operations, costs and working capital. These initiatives are necessary to address the immediate challenges of the industry and ensure long-term sustainability.

 

We have extensive experience in working alongside management teams to identify and implement initiatives to rapidly improve strategy, operations, costs and working capital, as well as assisting management with refinancing and stakeholder management.

 

In our report “Up a Hill, Down a Valley” we provide some useful insights on the relevant dynamics in the cycling sector, but more importantly provide guidelines to maximise your recovery and development opportunities through a proper turnaround and restructuring business plan that includes working capital optimisation, cost reductions, refinancing and long-term value creation initiatives.

 

We hope you enjoy the read, and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we may help you and your teams navigate these economic challenges.
